Chapter 431.
Between leaping up and down, Wang Chen swept past the scaled houses and tiled houses, arriving in front of the temple that was suspected to have human presence.
Although air was forbidden inside the Nine Dragons Earth Palace, and flight spells and magic weapons could not be used properly, but during this period of time, he had familiarized himself with the special environment here, and had also researched a method of rapid skimming.
The city was empty and silent, the long streets were covered in dust, only most of the buildings were basically intact.
Wang Dust also didn’t find any traces of evil spirits or monsters.
A dead city.
Since there was no self-luminous obsidian present in the city, and those geomantic mushrooms that could illuminate were rare, the light was extremely dim, making the firelight projected from the temple halls particularly conspicuous.
City God Temple.
Wang Chen raised his head and saw the plaque hanging above the temple door, recognizing the three true seal scripts.
The two gates of the City God Temple were made of an unknown material, and after thousands of years they had not decayed or been damaged, and one of the gates was half-open.
At a distance of ten feet, Wang Chen waved his palm and slapped it out.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the other door opened up towards the inside.
The inner view of the main hall was instantly reflected in Wang Dust’s eyes.
This City God Temple was empty, with four thick stone pillars supporting a high dome, and a huge statue of a god standing directly opposite the door of the hall.
The statue was more than seven staffs high, with a sturdy and muscular body, clad in armor and holding a large mace, with a lion’s eye and a broad nose, and a fierce demeanor.
Although the worshipper had long since ceased to exist, it was still guarding the city!
Wang Chen noticed that in front of the idol, there was a burning bonfire.
The firelight he saw earlier was obviously emanating from this bonfire.
And beside the bonfire, there were some packages as well as blades scattered.
It seemed that a group of travelers were resting here and suddenly met with misfortune, and the fire was still there.
Wang Chen did not immediately enter the hall, but unfolded his divine sense to carefully probe this hall once.
It did not find any unusual presence.
He sacrificed his Yaoguang Sword to protect his entire body and walked into the City God Temple step by step.
Inside the hall was very quiet, could only hear the “crackling” sound of burning wood, look at the ashes should have been burning for quite a long time, at most can still hold on for a moment or two to be extinguished.
Then the question came.
Who set up the bonfire here, and what made them suddenly disappear?
Wang Dust frowned, a weird feeling flooding his heart.
After thinking about it, Wang Dust sat down next to the bonfire.
He took out some dry firewood from his storage bag and added it to the bonfire.
It was so hard to discover the traces of the others, Wang Dust planned to wait here for some time to see if there would be any more people coming.
At the same time take a good rest.
Not knowing if it was due to some recent mental exhaustion, sitting by the warm and bright fire, a thick weariness crept in, causing his eyelids to start fighting.
Wang Chen’s consciousness gradually drifted into a trance, and it wasn’t long before he fell into a deep sleep.
After almost another incense stick of time, three figures flashed into the great hall like ghosts.
It was clearly two men and one woman, three cultivators!
The robes they wore were tattered and torn, looking like they hadn’t been cleaned or repaired for a long time, and each of them was unkempt and dirty, except for a pair of eyes that shone brightly as they stared at Wang Chen.
It was like a hungry beast that had set its eyes on delicious prey!
“Hahaha!”
A scar-faced male cultivator danced with his hands and let out a hoarse, unpleasant laugh, “What a big fat sheep!”
The female cultivator next to him licked her dry, cracked lips and said, “Brother Gan, I haven’t eaten meat in a long time.”
“Cut the crap for now!”
Another one-armed male cultivator said impatiently, “Hurry up and slaughter it, maybe someone else will come!”
“Let me do it!”
The female cultivator took the initiative and impatiently waved her hand to strike a silver hairpin!
The moment this silver hairpin came out of her hand, it transformed into a streak of powerful light that shot towards Wang Chen’s head.
The three of them were also quite careful and did not approach Wang Dust even when he was struck.
Ding!
Seeing that the silver hairpin magic weapon was about to hit Wang Dust, it was suddenly flicked away by a vertical finger.
Snatch!
It changed direction and shot through the roof of the great hall and disappeared.
And the originally sleeping Wang Dust opened his eyes and straightened up to show a smirking look at the visitor.
The three cultivators were startled in unison.
The scar-faced male cultivator lost his voice and roared, “How come the Bewitching Immortal Incense has failed?”
“So it’s the Bewitching Immortal Incense.”
Wang Chen inhaled and smiled, “No wonder there’s no odor.”
The Lost Immortal Incense is a special kind of psychedelic that can be mixed into the fuel wood and incense to burn and emit, and is colorless and tasteless and hard to guard against.
This kind of psychedelic drug has quite a strong effect on Qi Practicing cultivators, and can make people fall asleep invisibly.
If a Purple Mansion cultivator is inadvertently struck, he will also have the negative effect of weakening his muscles and bones, affecting the normal play of his strength.
Wang Chen sensed that something was wrong the moment he stepped into the great hall.
However, he didn’t move and pretended not to be aware of anything as he sat down by the bonfire.
Luring the snake out of the hole!
As a matter of fact, this kind of incense was effective against ordinary cultivators, and it was even more powerful in the special environment of the Nine Dragons Earth Palace, however, Wang Chuan’s Heavenly Dragon Vajra Positive Technique had already been cultivated to the sixth layer, condensing the Vajra Unbreakable Body.
Even the stronger Drunken God Smoke wouldn’t have much effect on him, not to mention the mere Mystic Immortal Incense!
Vajra Unbreakable, all poisons are invulnerable!
“Kill!”
That one-armed male cultivator was extremely brave, seeing his side’s plot fail, not only did he not have the slightest intention to retreat, instead, he roared and swept out towards Wang Chen.
He waved his only remaining right arm and blasted a fist at Wang Chen.
The one-armed male cultivator’s stance was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he killed in front of Wang Chuan, and his tightly clenched iron fist broke through the air without a sound, and a metal-like light shone on the skin membrane of his bone knuckles that protruded from the sky.
The momentum of the fist, the strength of the fist, even made the surrounding space appear fluctuation ripples.
At the same time, the scar-faced male cultivator shook his hand and struck out a talisman.
A ball of spiritual light burst out steeply!
The female cultivator next to him violently turned her head sideways, and dozens of points of cold awns shot out from her hair.
They shot towards Wang Chen’s lower body!
The three of them worked extremely well together and were obviously used to such a joint siege.
Facing his opponent’s surprise attack, Wang Chuan did not dodge and swung his right palm to meet the iron fist that was blasting towards him.
This one-armed male cultivator was obviously very good at melee combat, and his boxing skills were cultivated to a very high level, 100% martial arts into the Dao, and cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Practicing realm.
With this punch, even a low to medium level Qi Practitioner cultivator who had added a protective shield would not be able to withstand it!
Snap!
Fists and palms clashed with a crisp sound.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the one-armed male cultivator’s figure suddenly came to a halt.
The ferocious mania in his eyes instantly turned into boundless horror!
In the next moment, the one-armed male cultivator’s entire body flew backwards.
His fist suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and his only arm twisted into a twist, with white bones coming out through his skin!
